i tried running vmware for linux in puppy.
the first hurdle i faced was that the installation script requires perl (which is not there in puppy). after installing perl i was able to install start the installation process but due to lack of dependancies the installation was not completed. so it would require some effort to run vmware in puppy
i also tried running qemu0.7.2 in puppy. i does not have many lib requirements. I had to install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.3, libpng.so.0 and libSDL(available as a dotpup). libpthread
but qemu did not start because i got the following kind of errors
libpthread requires GLIBC_2.2 (required by qemu)
libpthread requires GLIBC_2.3.2 (required by libSDL)
i did not try further. better luck for who can go get past this.
i was able to run wine but it runs a very limited no of progs. not the ones i want
Unable to run vmware or qemu in puppy
